LEARN THE THEORY
LOVE THE GAME
WE TEACH MAHJONG, in theory.
And have fun doing it, as a practice.
Serving Boston, Wellesley, Concord, Acton and more, we offer American Mahjong instruction and open play opportunities to individuals, groups, and corporate clients.
BAM! Let’s play!
Book your small group lesson, social gathering or corporate event and we’ve got the rest handled (tiles, racks, mats, etc.).
Lessons are about two hours and are a lot of fun!
Our Approach
We are no Joke(ers) when it comes to teaching…
-
Not every instruction needs to be a lesson. Whether you’re looking for light guidance at a social event, or team building exercises for a formal corporate environment, we’ve got you covered.
-
Our lesson plans have been road tested throughout countless games with beginners. We break down the game so you can pick it up easily.

Maria builds on her experience teaching through training with Molly Hardy, a Dallas-based expert in teaching Mahjong. She is also an ambassador with the Mahjong line (TML) where she receives continuing education opportunities.
What is Mahjong?
Mahjong is a 4-player tile game of skill, strategy, and luck
The game of Mah Jongg originated in China and is the predecessor to the American Mahjong game. While the two games are similar, the game of American Mahjong plays by a different set of rules that are governed by National Mah Jongg League (NMJL).
In American Mahjong, the game is played using a predetermined set of hands that the NMJL develops for a given year. The 2026 card can be found here.
Additional and alternative American Mahjong playing cards have been developed, such as the TML Big Card.
